Rebelyell pretty much nailed it.

Everyone spends tons of money on fancy clutches that are completely unnecessary.  A fancy/expensive clutch does the same thing as a normal clutch - if you don't make the power that needs an expensive clutch, you're just throwing money away for no reason.

Yes it will hold the power fine but will it explode before hand maybe?  I will never buy another DF again.  The pressure plate blew apart on me.  Never been to the track or raced either and I'm only at 355rwtq.  Want a new clutch plate for yours?  Mines still like brand new.

I have a centerforce DF and Ive drag raced the hell out of mine for the past 2 years and its holding like a champ!

Looks like he bought the Spec 2....why is beyond me

I'm not doubting it cant hold the power.  The ring that holds the weights together on the pressure plate  broke causing the weights to go flying on me.  This was under 7k miles and no track time.

That is the same set I rented from a mom and pop shop. The Autozone I went to only had this pos.
WTF is that thing? Pandora's box?

Whatever guys :P I might did a mistake but I have in mind of buying the TrickFlow kit this summer.. this is why i bought a performance clutch instead of a stock one... I am supposed to receive it this week. I will let you know how if I see any difference.

Wow wow wow! I never agreed with him soooo don't think about it...
Okay I know this guy is not the best mechanic.. But he is really cheap + I don't have the tools and the place to do the repairs by myself. I won't let him work on transmission and gear because I know it's too much work for him.. But like for basic work... I will ask him for sure :P

Thanks anyway ,
